Macken, JoAnn Early. Flip, Float, Fly: Seeds on the move.
Holiday House, 2008, 32p, $16.95, 978-0-8234-2043-8.
Illustrates the journeys taken by different kinds of seeds.
This nicely illustrated children’s book visually shows the wonders of seeds and how they germinate. Both the text and the illustrations show how various seeds from plants and trees are carried by wind, rain, or animals to new locations, where they can set down roots and grow. There is a good balance between the illustrations, showing the different seasons, and the text, which simplifies the life cycle of seedlings for beginning scientists. The illustrations will attract young readers with both the color palette and the close-up diagram of the different seeds. A picture glossary is included. This is a perfect pairing with A Seed is Sleepy.
Recommended for preschools and elementary schools. RZ
